we hear the syrian refugee who has become a piano prodigy. >> a jordanian army said one of its pilates has been captured by the islamic state in iraq and the levant after his fighter jet was downed. it happened in raqqa in syria. the family has confirmed his identity. they have conducted hundreds of airstrikes in syria and iraq since the campaign against isil began. let's take a closer look at the coordinated assault from the air. the air force of the u.s. jordan, bahrain, saudi arabia, and the unite the emirates have been bombing targets in syria. in neighboring iraq, canada, denmark, britain and the netherlands have joined the airstrike. but 97% of the airstrikes in syria have been carried out by the united states alone.

we learn how the military is trained to deal with these incidents. >> if you take a look at jordan, the special operation trained soldier, his father flew aircraft as well. i think coming in to the coalition jordan fully understood that there is a chance that one of their pilots might have been brought down, and sadly that's what they're seeing here. i don't think it will have an affect on the coalition going forward. the entire air force is trained to conduct combat search and rescue to pick up a downed pilot as soon as possible after the plane goes down. clearly that did not happen in this case. the pilot will have to use his own training to try an escape, which he was not able to do. now he'll take the training that he has learned as a pilot to resist his captors as much as

possible. >> meanwhile, they're receiving reports that peshmerga forces were able to push back the islamic state in iraq and the levant fighters during an attack that took place on a village. it happened 50 kilometers southwest of erbil. the kurdish fighters were able to prevent isil from taking that village. elsewhere in northern iraq kurdish forces are regaining some of the ground lost to isil. they're trying to free the town of sinjar near the syrian border, which fell to isil in august. they're pushing to reach sinjar center. to some yazidi families the help came too plate. they say that isil fighters captured women and girls earlier this year. we have reports that the families fear that their loved one have been sold as sex slaves. >> reporter: whenever the family comes together, the conversation

is dominated by the missing gi girl she was kidnapped four months ago. the pain is unbearable for her family. >> our village was the first to be attacked by isil. we defended ourselves until we ran out of ammunition. they entered the village and started killing people. we fled. my daughter was one of those taken. >> reporter: he says that he fears his young daughter has been sexual abused by isil fighters. in another tent we met with another family. their daughter was abducted by isil together with her four children. in all, they have had nine members kidnapped by isil. >> we don't want anything else from the kurdish government, united nations or the international coalition. all we ask from them is to return our kidnaps relatives.

>> reporter: the yazidis are considered heretics by isil. with their towns and villages in conflict, this has become reality for the members of the yazidi community. every family here is struggling to cope with the loss of relatives who are either in captivity or being killed by the isil fighters. this man says they're traumatized. >> some of the women here were raped and tortured. these people watched as their loved ones were killed or taken away. huge crimes have been committed against them. >> tired of a life where they are unable to go home. mohammed al jazeera.

>> 13 iraqi soldiers are among the dead. it happened when soldier were cueing up to receive their salaries. israeli forces have killed a palestinian man along the gazaen border. the army said that it unleashed air and ground fires. the palestinian man was a member of the monitoring unit in the southern end of the gaza strip. the u.n. special envoy to libya said warring factions have agreed to hold a new round of peace talks next year. meanwhile, fighting among rifles is continuing. >> running battles in libya's second city are intensifying. between forces loyal to republicarenegade general and

the rival council they say warplanes have bombed the city. the u.n. special down very has met members of libya's two rival governments and parliaments over the last few days. >> we will not allow the collapse of the state institutions. we need the backing of the international community but not to violate the libyan sovereignty. >> reporter: the u.n. security council suggest that the groups agree in principle to attend the peace talks set for january 5th. part of the plan is to create a cease-fire and adopt a new constitution and disarm powerful militias. libya has had two governments and parliaments competing for legitimacy and control. in august former rebels known as the shield of libya which backs the outgoing national congress

control the capitol. it forced the internationally recognized new parliament and government to retreat to the eastern city of tibruk. but in november the supreme court valle validated the government citing violence against the constitution. peace talks have failed, and it is not clear if other powerful militias are invited to the peace talks. some suggest without them the talks will fail. >> the evolutionaries are an integral part of this equation. without them i don't see the talks will succeed. if they are excluded it will complicate the situation. >> reporter: the political crisis and in-fighting has left many people dead. the u.n. said 120,000 people have been forced to leave their homes. al jazeera. >> now, a cycle of violence is unfolding in northeastern india where at least 60 people have

been killed by gunmen. the murders took place in two villages. the attacks were carried out by the national democratic front of a group fighting for indians for india. we have reports from new delhi. >> reporter: well, authorities had always feared that yesterday's attacks would escalate in two tit-for-tat violence between the tribal community that was targeted yesterday, and the bodo community. it seems that we're seeing that play out on the ground now. we're getting reports that the members of the community have targeted and killed some and burned their homes as well. on the site of the tribal, they have suffered a number of casualties today during a protest. it seems that some of them have been shot in police fire.

as they clashed with security forces. now the police have blamed a breakaway faction of the national democratic front of bodoland for the attacks, and they say they believe it was in retaliation of an ongoing security operation that was under way to flush out these rebels. now it seems that the rebel attacks specifically targeted the tribal community because they were worried they were working with security forces to give them information and intelligence on where their rebel hideouts were. >> well, members of the bodo tribe have struggled fo in the bodoland. they led an armed campaign since india's indians in 1947, but reached an agreement with the indian government in 2003.

that 2003 agreement did not hold and violence returned as did the demand for independence. now at least two people have been killed in a bomb attack in pakistan. ithe police say a bomb was placed outside of a shop in the city. 14 people have been injured. ukrainian officials have arrived for talks in minsk with pro russian separatists. it will focus on troop withdrawal and aid. we have reports from moscow. >> reporter: they failed to agree on the last cease-fire when they met in minsk. they were hoping that this christmas eve gathering will finally bring peace to the region. in eastern ukraine nearly 5,000 people have died since march in fighting between ukrainian government forces and russian-backed rebels. on tuesday further shelling was reported around donetsk.

on wednesday ukraine's prime minister knew where to lay the blame. >> russia is not fulfilling the minsk protocol. russian terrorists are there, and it is necessary to take them out and give people the possibility of living normal lives. >> reporter: but finding an agreement to end this violence would have been made more difficult on tuesday as ukraine opened the door to possible membership to nato when parliament scrapped the neutral status. it was a vote that angered the kremlin, and only deepened the worsening confrontation between russia and the west since the end of the cold war. but there are compelling reasons say analysts in moscow for kremlin to seek a deal in ukraine. >> if we seek this, and then the west would be quick to interpret that as russia's involvement. that would obviously involve new round of sanctions, new hiccups

of the cold war, which we actually don't need. >> reporter: the talks broke up without reaching a former agreement. they'll resume on friday. it's been three months since the envoys last met in minsk. since then more than a thousand civilians and troops have been killed as the deal they agreed then unravels in days. we'll see if they can reach a more lasting agreement this time. al jazeera in moscow. >> former u.s. president george bush sr. has been admitted to a hospital in texas. he was experiencing breathing problems "p" the 90-year-old was trea last in the hospital in 2012 being treated for pneumoni:

i'm tanya page reporting from libya where dogs are being trained to help protect herds from predators like cheetahs and lyons. >> there are reports and gas stations of alleged doping in russia. now police in the u.s. state of missouri have shot and killed another black teen. the mayor of the town where it took place says this incident appears to be different from the other deaths involving police in ferguson and in new york. we have the latest from washington. >> reporter: another deadly altercation between the police and the black teenager. 18-year-old antonio martin was shot dead just a few kil kilometers in ferguson. protesters were quick to gather at the scene. the police say an officer

approached martin and his companion at a petrol station, and then this happened. >> the individual, who has the firearm, he backed away to the east just for a few steps. the officer engaged him in conversation again. then the individual produced a pistol with his arm straight out, pointing it at the officer from across thehood of the police car. at that point the officer produced his service weapon and fired what we think at this point was three shots. >> reporter: surveillance video produced by the police displays the incident from a distance. the officer was issued a body camera but was not wearing it. there were protests from coast to coast against what they say is excessive force by police officers. and to be held for accountability.

the mayor of new wor new york is attempting to curtail protestin protesting. but that did not stop demonstrators from returning to the streets tuesday night. one said the message of police reform should not be eclipsed by the actions of a deranged man. >> it is necessary not to let that action become the face of this whole series of events because it's still young black men that are taking a beating. and getting shot. >> the swift reaction by authorities in releasing surveillance foot edge and holding press conferences suggest they develop the public relations strategy for what they've seen as provocative blunters in august. it's not fair what the initial account at this at th petrol station will be believed by those with little trust. al jazeera. >> civil rights activities and community organizer kevin

alexander gray is the author of "the decline of politics from malcolm x to barack obama." thank you for speaking to us. buckley is just a few miles away from the suburb of ferguson, where michael brown was fatally shot by police. is this latest incident going to further inflame things? how would you describe how people are feeling right now? >> well, i think its obvious that people are on edge about relationships between the police and the community. i'm glad that the people didn't stop protesting in new york and across the country because as we see once every 24 hours a young black man or every 28 hours a young black man is killed by police officer or someone under the color of law. it's still about holding police accountable. the details of this latest shooting have yet to be revealed, and if the young man pointed a gun at the officer, that was unfortunate, but it still doesn't deflect from the

fact that we have a problem with police relations with many members of the black community, and in particular the youth community. >> as you say there is much we still don't know about this latest case. the mayor of berkeley was quick to say there was no comparison between this shooting and before, and he said that the majority of berkeley's police force is predominantly african-american. was the mayor right to draw this distinction? >> well, obviously the ratio make up of the police departments are different. so that is a difference. that's not to say that black police officers won't shoot a young black male just as quickly as a white police officer. there are black officers don't necessarily shoot white suspects but they will shoot black suspects. but the fact that they've come out quickly they've learned some lessons from ferguson and how to deal with the public.

and they know that tensions are raw right now. this is going on all across the country. this is not a new problem with the problem with police. and across the country people are having conversations about how to hold the police accountable, they're having conversations about the body cameras. they're having conversations about grand juries. they're having conversations about citizen review boards. they're having conversations about what kind of people join police force and what kind of testing can we do before people go on the force to ensure that they're not racist or driven mad by power. those are the questions that people are asking. any shooting right now. even if it's a sow called justifiable kill, people are still raising questions about police officers, up soaking the death penalties on the streets of this country against young black-- >> that is definitely on the way, but do you see this--the questions being asked, the conversation that are being had, do you see these protests against the use of force by

police actually translating into genuine reform? into a real change in police methods, if you like? >> well, yes, and i think--i give all the credit to young people, this is a new movement, and young folks are starting to put their lives into context, into the context of history, and what has happened before them. this is not new. the incidents of police violence or official violence against people of color is not new. it's just that the millennials are starting to march and demand change. they're demanding that we not evolve into a police state in this country where black males are routinely stereotyped by police and authorities. look at new york. new york and what is coming out of the leadership of new york, police department, union, sounds like selma, sounds like the

south in the '60s where people are just bear bone racist and where they stereotype the entire community based on the acts of one deranged man. they didn't do that when the young man shot the police officers in philadelphia. they didn't say that we're on war-time footing. the police are not at war with the police. they want the police to be held at a high standard. for them to think before they use deadly force and for a curtailment in this shoot to kill policy with police force all across the country. >> i appreciate you taking the time. kevin alexander gray civil rights activist from south carolina. two victims died in their home when twisters ripped their homes apart in mississippi. damage is extensive in mario county. the storms have knocked off power to nearly so thousand

homes. the economic tide may be turning for cuba. cuban farmers are hoping this historic shift will bring more money to areas outside of popular tourism spots. we have reports from florida, which is just outside of havana. >> the sun has barely risen on the horizon, but on the rodriguez farm they're already hard at work to result aggravate the land. being a farmer it difficult in cub, and the types of cowboys on the island produce half the milk of similar cows in the united states but they can't buy them because of the half century embargo on the island. but the embargo has meant no access to american-made farm equipment, fertilizers or tools. >> here we have very little technology to develop our farm. >> reporter: it means farmers continually improviseing to try to make it work.

something that he hopes changes with the renewed economic ties between the two countries. >> now if we need pesticides we'll have the power to ask for it. they'll ship it, and we'll have more development in all the countryside. >> reporter: look around and you can see how much it might help. spend some time on this farm and you get a sense of how stuck in time they really are. cutting sugar cane right now but with no proper trucks or any way to transport it to the other side of the farm, they just load it in to this, this is the same system that they've been using for generations, the same system for over 100 years. but cuba being a socialist country, citizens cannot import private goods, including farmers who want to buy equipment abroad. the government says it's meant to prevent anyone from having an unfair advantage, but the policy may need to be rethought. >> this agreement with the u.s. is significant. and it is an important leap forward, but i should chairify the cuban government needs to do

their part. >> reporter: but for now, at least, some optimism prevails like when lopez, another family farmer, who views a new relationship with the u.s. exact lick lie this. >> you give me a piece of farm machine and i'll give you beans. we can exchange business now. >> reporter: and down the road back at the rodriguez family farm that's exactly what they want as well. expecting the benefits of the u.s. friendship to reach the countryside as fast as anywhere else. gabriel elizondo, cuba. >> now sony pictures is to distribute its film, "the interview" on line. it's a comedy about a function functionafictional plot to kill

place in thailand. of the thousands who died here nearly as many were foreign tourists as thai people. >> it's impact was on the entire world. it was not just local people, it was international. there were people in this area from every part of the world. so it needed to be an international effort. >> what with we were most afraid of back then was if there were normal tourists here what would we do? >> well, the tourists are back, and when you talk to people about the role of tourism in the recovery from the disaster, it turns out that it's not just about dollars and cents, but also about the links between people that inspired them to help and support each other to win a hard-fought recovery. >> reporter: right after the tsunami there was literally nothing but a few trees left standing. ten new hotels have opened this year alone.

tourism has provided the means that ordinary people have showed their support. >> the tsunami damaged us badly, but there were also some benefits. we made so many good friends for life. the tsunami only happened once. we can fix the house. we can fix our mind. so we're not stuck in the past, and we keep on living. in. >> i think the fact that now here we are ten years later, people have traveled from all over the world to be here to get together again. it's just beautiful, isn't it? >> reporter: undaunted and united they rebuilt even better than before. >> happy endings to a horrible story. >> yes. >> reporter: al jazeera, thailand. >> well, on thursday we'll bring you the story from indonesia. that's where more than 170,000 people died in the asian tsunami. ten years on we return to find the community that is still rebuilding.

watch the live stock. >> he bought the dog for $100, but it died. it's far too expensive to replace. they borrowed the idea that use local dogs. these dogs are used to the harsh conditions here. >> the over all goal of this dog is to manage the conflict between the farmers and the co conserve antsy itself. >> the live stock are safe now thanks to one community's initiative. >> still ahead for you on al jazeera, we neat iraq christians who are trying to

leave syria. >> reporter: canada has promised to recycle 1300 syrians by the end of this year. the last month less than 500 had come, syrian canadian activists question both the overall number and the slow pace of resettlement. >> we've lobbied a lot with parliament, and the answer we often got is that canada is proud to resettle one out of ten refugees but not when it comes so syria. when it comes to syria, there are difficult, conservative numbers, and the obstacles are too many and the program is not working. >> reporter: they say its wrecking canada's image as a haven for those fleeing war and persecution. the immigration minister in a statement to al jazeera said that canada is meeting its targets and will do more even though no details are given.

in the refugee camps along syria's borders frustration is growing among the canada church groups that primarily provide private sponsorship processing times are shore shorter, but still too long. >> if we don't come up with significant special programs and increase the number of refugees we have, that will definitely change the image of canada, canadians, and the canadians government. >> reporter: safe now in canada, this family hopes more syrians can join them in refuge here. >> al jazeera, montreal. >> the christian population in iraq is dwindling. more than half of the country's 300,000 christians have been forced from their homes from isil to cover regions of the country. the refugees are doing their best to celebrate the new year.

security. >> reporter: the christian district of the kurdish capitol of erbil the shops are full of gifts and christmas trees, but few have money. in this mall there be a christmas tree and even a manager. children will rely on charity for gifts and clothes. at this school in baghdad like in most places there is almost no support from the government. the families here are fed by the church. every egg is precious. people are doing their best to make it feel like christians. some have written their christmas wishes and put it on the tree. one man hopes for a better future for his children. another, peace across iraq. but the biggest wish of the new year is that they'll be able to go back to their homes.

too. >> people are leaving. and you can't stop it. you can't. so we're trying to tell the world over, especially the christian churches, you need to support christians in the holy land. you need to provide for them. you need to give them the possibility of continuing living in dignity. >> reporter: before the creation of israel in 1948 christians made up nearly 20% of the arab population in historic palestine. today with ongoing immigration they make up just 2% of palestinians living in occupied territories. every year thousands of christians come here to bethlehem to celebrate the birth of christ. but with the increasing numbers of palestinian christians moving abroad, that has many religious leaders concerned. father ibrahim is an official of the church nativity.

he tells me if the situation does not change the birthplace of christ will soon lose it's palestinian congregation. >> it is the responsibility of the church to keep christians living in the holy land. imagine bethlehem without christians. all this church would be is a museum. without the presence of the local community the church has no meaning. without them, all of this are just stones. >> reporter: after the continuing unrest in occupied east jerusalem, church officials have decided to scale back celebrations. that has not stopped people here from praying for a better future. al jazeera, beth will hem. in the occupied west bank. >> al jazeera continues to call for the release of its staff,

efficient city. this represents the dilemma between the old and the new. they have the safety features, they cost more to fix and they're slower, but there is no question that they have more charm. and they get you where you're going. >> reporter: but it's a fine balancing act says the city's top architect. >> the preservation of the old must be selective. it's not worthwhile because it's old. it's valuable because of its quality. >> reporter: for example, the recently renovated building that dates 1,800th century looks of naples. nonetheless the staunchest conservationist would agree that
